Holy cow! How did I miss that these podcasts even existed? I have a lot of catching up to do.
I’m not sure if you guys take suggestions but I’d love to see a podcast on the Russian revolution or Cuban revolution.
If not I understand. If you happen to know of a good podcast that covers those topics that would be awesome. Thanks.
Really awesome episode, thanks guys!
Holy crap! Just this morning I was wondering where I could find a podcast about the south, possibly the civil war, since I have some driving to do later this week. I thought to poke around on this sub for advice and now THIS?! I’m pretty excited.
Fantastic. Such an interesting interview. I want to read her book. I subscribed through Podcast Addict but when I get around to it I'll subscribe, rate and review on that horrid iTunes as every podcaster asks us to do.
Great topic
For those interested in Labor History I'm only aware of the program at Carnegie Mellon which has a focus in Labor history although not necessarily limited to the US.
